Coach Talk

Planet united
Listen, Planet united, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jared Cook), while still earning a tie... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Maharaja Daughters and we're sure to be toast.
Keeper Reapers
Keeper Reapers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 18 targets in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 balls.
